If you experience any problems with the unit, please take a moment
to read through this page and try to solve the problem yourself before
you call your dealer or a TEAC service center.
No power
e Check the connection to the AC power source. Confirm that the
AC source is not a switched outlet, and, if it is, that the switch
is turned on. Confirm that there is power to the AC outlet by
plugging another item such as a lamp or a fan into the outlet.
Remote control does not work
e Press the POWER switch of the main unit to turn it on.
e If the batteries are exhausted, change the batteries.
e Use the remote control within the effective range (16 ft/5 m) and
point it toward the remote sensor on the front panel.
e Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote
control and the main unit.
e Turn off any fluorescent lights near the unit.
No sound
e Check the connection to the amplifier.
e Check the operation of the amplifier.
Will not play
e Load a disc with the label side up.
e If the disc is dirty, clean its surface.
e If a blank disc has been loaded, load a prerecorded disc.
e Depending on the disc and other factors, playback of some
CD-R/RW discs might not be possible. Try again with another
disc.
e You cannot play unfinalized CD-R/RW discs. Finalize such a disc in
a CD recorder and try again.
Sound skips
e Place the unit in a stable place to avoid vibrations and shocks.
e When using the unit in a place where vibration is unavoidable,
turn the ESP anti-skipping function on (see page 12).
e If the disc is dirty, clean its surface.
e Do not use scratched, damaged or warped discs.
Since this device uses a microcontroller, external noise and
other interference can cause the unit to malfunction. If this
occurs, turn the power off and restart the operation after
waiting about a minute.

Troubleshooting
Beware of condensation
Condensation could occur when the unit (or a disc) is moved from
a cold to a warm place, or used after a sudden temperature change.
Vapor in the air could condense on the internal mechanisms, making
correct operation erratic or impossible. To prevent this, or if this
occurs, leave the unit for one or two hours with its power turned on.
The unit will stabilize at the temperature of its surroundings.
Maintenance
If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth or use
diluted mild liquid soap. Never spray liquid directly on this unit. Apply
cleaner to the cleaning cloth and wipe gently. Be certain to remove
any excess completely. Do not use thinner, benzene or alcohol as they
could damage the surface of the unit. Allow the surface of the unit to
dry completely before using.
